Future Direction for 4WD NZ Rally Championship and 4WD rallying in New Zealand

SPECIFIC TECHNICAL REGULATIONS FOR NATIONAL HOMOLOGATION

Draft update 08.08.2014

Important Notes:

The following document is a technical proposal for a nationally developed 4 wheel-drive rally car intended [as a replacement for FIA Group N] that provides a similar specification to the current FIA R5 that is ostensibly able to be ‘self-built’ from locally sourced components.

The draft proposal encompasses the following provisions which initially have been adopted to cater for as wide a customer base as possible although it its envisaged that a number of these provisions may be removed as the category develops or as required in order to achieve parity with existing car categories and/or to gain FIA regional approval.

• Freedom of choice to national or regional build specification• Freedom of choice to engine capacity (as per engine capacity classes)• Freedom of choice to many component parts• Freedom of choice to source of component parts

The regulations are written primarily for national competitions although include a number of alternative specifications that are envisaged to enable a ‘Nationally Homologated’ car to be ‘Regionally Approved’ for international competitions in the Asia Pacific region.
